I went there for a week. It was hard to get used to walking through the crowds. I thought it was also kind of ridiculous when a Japanese woman half my size was pushing me into the subway car because it was super crowded. The subway system was really awesome for getting around in general. As long as I had a translated subway map, I never worried about getting lost.

The six story arcade kinda near my hotel was pretty cool, and you could even smoke while gaming! Nothing better than that for a smoking nerd. What I thought was really weird was all the black guys in Roppongi that tried to get you to go to the "gentlemen's clubs." They were foreigners on the lookout for foreigners.

I couldn't speak any Japanese at all while I was there, but still enjoyed it a lot. I'd really like to go back now that I know a little.
